Does anyone have experience with reliability of this model range & if so what sort of things should I look for. Like I am aware of the need to change the timing belt every 100K, but wonder what else.
Many thanks in advance

They are very cheap for a reason
the 2.4 is gutless until you wind the turbo up and open the pump , when the pump seals go there is one available for $400 after market which will survive
when you break the 2.4 slot in a 3 litre and run the turbo so it goes like it should , change oils and filters often and auto fluid every 18 months
they suck in the dirt and go much better on home bio but of course drink gallons of the stuff , good luck if you do buy one and dont pay more than a couple of grand
